I was out of animes to watch, since all I do after studying is watch animes and play games. I saw someone saying that this anime was getting a second season and I wondered why the hell something so low rated and possibly very, very bad was getting more episodes. The thing is, I started looking for hidden gems and underrated animes about a week ago, since I started getting tired of many hyped up animes that delivers nothing at all. Some of them are always so well rated and they are so bad that I was even scared of picking low rated animes on
...
MAL, because I thought they would be even worse. But I NEVER imagined that the risk of watching low rated animes in MAL could bring me something as good as this show. As I write this review, the score of this anime is 6.95, something to be very suspicious right? I can tell you, dear reader, that I have watched my share of anime already. I don't update my MAL list and I am not used to writing reviews, but I think I should do a favor to the community by sharing my feelings and my opinion about how good this anime is.
After being severely broken by the frustration of losing what he you once believed was meaning of his life, the mc finds his new purpose. As the title suggests, we start with our mc being kicked out of the hero's party with the argument that his skill didn't scale as well as the other characters in the group and he started getting in their way, needing protection from other members and not being useful in combat. He then gives up on being an adventurer and to life in the countryside, in a place where nothing happens and he could live a peaceful life as an apothecary. Soon, a princess disguised as an adventurer that he helped in past adventures find him in this city and she is also seeking a quiet place to live, away from the intrigues of the royal family. These two have actually quite the chemistry together and it is very satisfying to see their relationship grow and they becoming closer and more intimate to each other.
The history does more than just focus on the romance of the mc and the princess. That are mysterious events in town to shaking the plot a little bit, the dynamic of the party after the mc left and the feelings of his old partners about it. The anime also invested some philosophy concerning the blessing/skill each person is born with in this world. It can determine what your profession is going to be, what your personality is going to be like and the feelings that people have about their own unique skill. It doesn't go super deep about it, but it was pretty interesting that it brought to question people's free will versus their supposed "fate" and obligations to god and society according to their skill.
It's a hidden gem of romance, adventure, slice of life and action. If I could, I would give it an 8,5, but since I cannot I'm rounding it up, this show deserves it. Try to stick with it until episode 4. If you didn't like it by then, give up and watch something else
